I think saying "traditional" views might be a bit too nice. What is the "traditional" view of race? That all races are inferior to whites? That's not traditional, it's just racist.
What is the "traditional" view of sexuality? That if you're anything but straight, something is wrong with you and you're an abomination. Again, that's not traditional as much as it is bigoted.

Now I agree that the way to address these things is not with anger or just yelling at people. It will only get worse. But I also don't want to sugarcoat or whitewash it either. Gotta call a spade a spade.

I don't really have any fear that these as you put them traditional beliefs are right. At least I can't think of any. To me the problem is that at large, the masses are completely unprepared and defenseless against propaganda. It goes almost completely unchecked in our society so that people can't tell up from down, or left from right. I hope that a platform like Steem, that is neutral, can help by giving all voices, even the ones people might disagree with a platform where they can't be censored.
